Re: prison food

Do the inmates have any chance of growing their own veg or herbs that could be used? I was on a trip to the Hunter Valley wine region recently and our bus driver pointed out the prison vineyards, no longer being used and I'm not clear on the reason for that. It made me think about the variety of skills being unused.

Re: prison food

for one day i done for fun and to see how it is cooking with prisoners i was surprised how good they eat and what choice they have ethnic foods for all jewish ,vegetarians,muslim,indienne,europeanprepared most time by the prisoners with supervisons of the chefthey worked with not so sharpe knives

was a great experience think the iron door is closing behind you you had to give pasport etc to the main guards

i think guards should have different foods as inmates like the pilots in the plane

Not clear if you want a better menu for staff and inmates or just for staff.Why do you feel your food should be better than inmates?Are meals part of your salary?
